Product Details

What is Adobe Marketo Engage?

Adobe Marketo Engage, from Adobe since 2018, aims to help marketing teams drive demand and growth in their companies by delivering exceptional experiences in concert with sales at every stage of the customer journey.

The challenge these teams face is that everyone today expects a personalized experience whenever they interact with a company - they don’t have patience for generic marketing and the last thing they want is a cold call from sales. So to stay competitive, marketing teams are scrambling to understand customers better, so they can give them a better experience, because this is disrupting entire industries. And a big part of what’s needed is figuring out how marketing and sales can do a better job together.

Adobe Marketo Engage aims to redefine Marketing Automation by helping these companies bring together the customer data, content, automation and analytics needed for marketing and sales to coordinate engagement with customers that’s personalized and measurable at every touchpoint - and do it with efficiency and scale.

in my experience the best scenarios are lead nurturing and scoring - Marketo Engage enables marketers to create targeted campaigns and automated workflows to engage with leads and score them based on their behavior and engagement. Event management - Marketo Engage has robust event management features, including the ability to create landing pages, send invitations, manage attendees, and track event performance. Lead generation - Marketo Engage has a suite of lead generation tools, including forms, landing pages, and progressive profiling, that help businesses generate high-quality leads. The negative side of Marketo Engage is small businesses with limited marketing resources - Marketo Engage is a comprehensive platform that requires a certain level of marketing expertise to set up and use effectively.

Marketo is definitely scalable. So that's one of the things we had to know before we were moving into Marketo. We had over half a million contacts, but we had to do a little bit of a data cleanup and make sure everything was updated. We ended up with 200K contacts but we still have thousands to add. So with Marketo the fact that we can grow, and expand as we go, was one of the biggest assets to actually choose and work with Marketo. So scalability of it is definitely a plus.

I think for the end-to-end lead management process, if you are someone who wants to focus on anonymous to known lead conversion, send that to the CRM, show the engagement to your sales with Marketo sales insights, the biggest winner feature according to me. So I think that's where I feel like Marketo has the best use. Where I would say not so strong is if you really want to use it for analytical capabilities beyond email marketing, then I feel like an integration with something like Tableau is necessary. So I feel like that's when I wouldn't recommend.

It's not very appropriate for landing page creation because it doesn't allow much customization in that. So for landing pages, we use an external service apart from Marketo. What it's good for, well, in general, to send emails, it's perfect to customize the audience. It's great for us.

It would be some of those features like lead lifecycle management. But overall I would also say the seamless integration with third-party platforms and especially CRM, whichever CRM it might be, just helps us keep the data maintained on both ends, keep that same data maintained especially the bidirectional sync, which happens every five to 10 minutes. I like that. Like it's just keeping everything intact.

I think that for a company as large as ours, Marketo's well suited. One thing that's really good is the community of Marketo, it's super helpful. Everyone gives all of their feedback and you can go and search for any kind of questions you have about Marketo. I've used it for 5 years and still, I feel like there are so many things to learn about it. And it's really suited for people who are doing all of the different things that I mentioned earlier. It's very well equipped and it's better than any marketing automation platform I've used before.

It is well suited for filtering out your customers from a CRM database, which can contain several hundred thousand people. It has the ability to filter down to an exact single person. You can filter or segment by a group of people. Customize communication to those people. Make one-on-one emails with tokens, the ability to tokenize and basically gives the non-technical design people the ability to make decent-looking emails without having in-depth knowledge of other Adobe products that designers would have.

I'd say it's less appropriate for people that are just sending straight emails and just doing something that a more simpler solution could accommodate. But it's definitely more suited for a company like mine that has a lot of different business units that have a lot of different use cases so different ways of sending emails, different types of emails. We also have a lot of data that we collect on all of our audiences, so being able to house all of that data and being able to have a bunch of business units that're doing very different things is something that Marketo really accommodates.

It's definitely suited for a large-scale company with a lot of databases, but then in the past, I've seen smaller companies trying to use it, but they cannot. I would say, having a good Marketo, not an expert, but at least a functioning person, somebody who has Marketo experience definitely makes sense to have it with a company who has a Marketo expert in-house. That makes a really big difference. But then if you really go for consultancy and all of that, then you do not have the complete views of Marketo.

Marketo excels when you have a team of at least 3-4 employees to run it. It takes a lot of work to set it up and make sure everything is running smoothly. Marketo is a must if you are trying to set up complicated nurture drips. You can pretty much set up anything you can imagine.

Any situation where marketing automation or highly advanced email capabilities are needed is a perfect fit for Marketo's tools. They are likely the best Enterprise MA platform available today. Marketo is easy to integrate with other systems such as our Salesforce CRM and ERP platform and the reporting and lead scoring capabilities are very robust.

Scoring and lead engagement have been the best scenarios to use Adobe Marketo Engage. Database management, event management, dynamic templates are more likely. Landing page and email template flexibility and gives out good reports. Attribution is something that is less appropriate to be used independently. Named Accounts has lots of scope of improvement.

Adobe Marketo Engage is best suited for users who wish to build marketing material with assets they already have on hand. This is a platform for someone to build marketing material by compiling their assets into finished product to send to their end users, with the goal of improving overall company engagement

I have found Marketo Engage is best for one to many communications to large lists. If you do not have established marketing practices and a large list size, it may not be the right fit for you. If you do have a large list size and ample marketing team, it is an excellent way to reach those folks in an impactful (and measurable) way.

Marketo is a great tool for almost all of our marketing departments needs. It can get the job done! We just find that it can be more user friendly in ways, like a more updated interface. It can also act very slow for many users from time to time.

This product is well suited for Enterprises [that] deal heavily in email marketing, lead management, and ranking. You can build a well-suited nurture campaign and emphasis more on custom rules as compared to other MAP. On the other hand, don't expect a great social media integration and its analytics.

The solution plays well with CRM integration, since you'll be using this data to personalize and enrich client's experience. Wether you're sending emails, publishing landing pages, doing lead scoring or even track some behaviors in an external page, Marketo has it all!
One think worth noting is that, for some use cases, you're going to need basic web development skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).

Marketo is best in class. Many Marketing Automation Platforms (MAPs) focus on ease of use. That's great, except it usually means you give up the ability to truly customize the program to fit your specific needs.
If you need to customize your buyer's journey, create specific scoring, be able to trigger off of almost anything that you create, and be able to seamlessly integrate with your CRM, Marketo is the best tool.

This is well-suited for a very large company with multiple brands or campaign needs. It's extremely robust and wouldn't really be necessary for a small to medium sized company.

It has really sophisticated email features, suitable for businesses with complex and targeted email campaigns.

It has integrations with other platforms if you require CRM or analytics platforms.

I would recommend Marketo Engage to all the people out there who're looking for an enterprise-grade marketing automation platform for not only just email marketing but creating buyer journeys, integrating with sales platforms, and doing event marketing. Marketo is a great package as it supports all the channels, and it is highly customizable as per the needs of the business. Although it is primarily built in keeping B2B companies' marketing needs in mind, but it supports B2C use cases as well.
